Achillea Millefolium 'Oertel's Rose'

Oertel's Rose Common Yarrow

Achillea millefolium ‘Oertel’s Rose’ is a classic, long-lived perennial yarrow prized for its soft rose-pink flower clusters and reliable garden performance. Flat-topped blooms are borne on sturdy, upright stems above finely divided, aromatic gray-green foliage, creating a light but colorful presence in the landscape.

Blooming from early to mid-summer, with continued flowering when deadheaded, ‘Oertel’s Rose’ forms a neat, clump-forming plant that spreads slowly over time. The flowers age attractively and are excellent for cutting and drying.

Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, it is heat and drought tolerant once established and performs best in lean soils. Hardy in USDA Zones 4–8, it is also deer resistant and pollinator friendly.

Mature size:



Height: 18–24 in



Width: 18–24 in



Ideal for perennial borders, cottage gardens, pollinator plantings, and mass plantings, Achillea ‘Oertel’s Rose’ is valued for its soft color, durability, and low-maintenance habit.
